Everything lovely and more.

A few years later I found my way back. Madly in love with a boy, starting our lives together in a small house with our two lovely dogs.

i found this and thought it was cute and so true
I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an ADULT. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old again.
I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four-star restaurant.

I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle. I want to see who can blow the biggest bubble. I want to think M&M's are better than money because you can eat them. I want to drink Kool-Aid,and eat lemonheads with my friends. I don't want to change clothes because I got a little dirty. I want to enjoy everyday like its summer vacation. I want to return to a time when life was simple.

When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and TV show theme songs, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset. I want to think the world is fair.

That everyone is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible. I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again, like a new hot wheel. I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more illness, and loss of loved ones.

I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination and mankind. I want to be in the roller derby and actually believe The Three Stooges are real.

So...here's my checkbook and my car-keys, my credit card bills and my 401K statements, my pager, my Cell Phone, my palm pilot, my fax machine and my DVD player, and last but not least my mortgage book. I am officially resigning from adulthood.

And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first cause...

so much has changed the past few months, changes both unwanted and wanted. but as i have learned you have to have both to really appreciate life. had someone told me last summer after my surgery that this is where i would be now, i would have laughed at them. i never thought this is where i would end up. But its for the best i guess. everything that happens in life is a small piece of what makes us who we are. if everything that happened in life was always peachy honestly life would be boring. as much as we all hate obsticles and chalenges, when you come out on the other side you feel stronger, braver and good about yourself.
I can honestly say i am perfectly happy with my life right now. Happiest i have been this year. I have the best most supportive friends right now. I dont have a problem with any of them right now.
recovery is going better than expected. Im feeling 100% most of the time its wonderful. little to no pain. It all couldnt have gone better. good news from the doctor today. im just happy.
Cali is going to kick butt. i get to go with 2 great friends. plus be a counseler. and i get to go to the beach and knotts berry farm! ahhh im excited
